SEE LIVES CHANGED
More than anything, you want to see your kids impacted by the gospel of Christ and lives forever changed. We get that on a deeply personal level, because that’s our mission, too! However, group leaders like yourself are too often bogged down with the logistics required to plan engaging experiences that help kids disconnect from distractions and make space for genuine growth.
Don’t try to do this alone! Your time and energy is limited and should be spent on relational ministry — investing in the everyday lives of your kids. We want to be your partner in ministry and help your kids encounter the gospel like never before. We intentionally infuse the gospel into every detail and high-energy activity so that campers can go deeper with Christ and with each other. You are freed up to focus on your group and see powerful life change!

Safety First
Crossings is committed to the safety of all campers. It is our number one (and two and three) priority. Before joining our team, all applicants must fill out an extensive application; pass background checks; undergo in-depth interviews; and complete an intensive, pre-camp training, which includes our comprehensive Child Protection Policy.
At no time is a camper ever alone with a Crossings team member. For additional safety, both properties are completely gated. Camp staff wear identifying shirts and name tags while campers and their leaders wear identifying nametags and wristbands at all times. All camp visitors must register before coming to camp and must adhere to our Visitor Policy & Code of Conduct.
High-Energy & Premium Activities
Meaningful experiences shouldn’t be boring. We want campers to make memories they’ll be talking about for the rest of their lives. That’s why we offer a wide variety of activities from archery and dodgeball to basketball and arts and crafts. Each experience is designed to help your group grow closer together as they grow closer to God in a fun-filled, engaging environment.
Cream-of-the-Crop Staff
Crossings summer staff is an energetic, authentic, relationship-driven team of college students. Having completed extensive Bible study and evangelism training, each staff member is fully prepared to share the gospel and provide the best possible hospitality. Our staff can't wait to have fun and build meaningful relationships with your kids.
Cut through the Noise
We believe that making space to deliberately focus on your relationship with God creates the opportunity for powerful life change. That’s why we create an intentional environment where the normal distractions of daily life can be set aside.
Gospel-Saturated Week
We want every child to hear the gospel proclaimed, engage with God’s word, and experience Christ-centered worship. That’s why we deliberately infuse the gospel into every detail of your group’s experience.
